For my people,
For my country,
For the people of my country,
For all my brothers,
For all my sisters,
For all my family,
For all  the peace,
For not all the wars,
For not all religion,
May have equality,
So then let us create a nation for us all,

(Z)
For the people
I called you the moon
And then you walked away
Weeks went by and I thought
Out of all the games we play
This was the worst of the lot
Time and time again
I asked you to stay
I promised to make it worthwhile
We would be okay
But then you came back and I understood
It doesn’t matter what I say
Because you really are the moon
And you’ll keep changing, everyday

People who claim to
Dislike poetry create
It in ignorance.
Don't look a gift horse
in the mouth
them's the rules
follow the yellow line
taking one step at a time
running is for the fools
take the matter up
high in to the clouds
spend more time alone
far away from the crowds

Fish The Pig
My life is like sand,
kinda nice,
kinda irritating,
and very quickly slipping through my fingers.
I'm being buried alive.

I guess you could say I've been okay lately
But I've been sleeping all the time just to escape myself
And I've started hating all of the people I love
Am I really okay?

You and I
Are water and salt:
Needing one another
Separately,
To live,
But dying of thirst
If taken together.

She was a diver
Because
As her toes left the board
Pointing
The curve of her back
Bending
She would begin to fall
Free – form
Freed from
Her promise to keep her feet
On the ground
Because on that day she
Was a diver
And it was her joy to fall.
